A/N Okie dokie, so I didn't get any reviews. Normally I wouldn't be writing more if I didn't get reviews, but Juanita is overly excited for a new chapter(and really damn persuasive), and as I aim to please POM, here is a new chapter.

This chapter is dedicated to Juanita and Sarah, for all their support and praise of my writing. You girls rock!!

Rachel was kept in the Hospital Wing for a week before she finally convinced Madame Promfrey to let her go. Ron had been there every day though, intent on cheering her up. She hated being in the Hospital Wing more than she hated snakes. And man, did she hate snakes. She was also partially convinced that Madame Promfrey was going to attack her at any given second. That had something to do with stories her older brother, Matt, telling her horror stories about the Wing in her pre-Hogwarts days. As soon as she was out of the Wing she gave a loud whoop of joy, ignoring the stares of fellow students and raced towards the Great Hall. Dinner was just about to start. When Sarah and Juanita found their best-friend sitting at the Ravenclaw table the both laughed and hugged her. They too had visited her every single day she had been stuck there. They always forgot how much they missed having their friend around when she was in the Hospital Wing. And she was in there at least once a month. They laughed, realizing how much they had missed her non-stop chatter about Ron Weasley((A/N coughcoughchatteraboutaxtoncoughcough(inside joke).) All in all, they were glad she was back. Once everyone had finished eating dinner Professor Dumbledore stood up and called for attention. Once everyone had given it to him, he smiled widely at the school. "As you all know, Halloween is coming up, and the Prefects and Heads have decided that there will be a ball for third years and up. Dates are encouraged, and the theme is famous couples," he announced. Chatter immediately overtook the students as they headed towards their common rooms. Rachel, Juanita, and Sarah were laughing and talking about the ball. They all settled into armchairs once they reached the common room and kept talking. "Who do you want to ask you to the ball Sarah?" Rachel asked. Sarah blushed, "Seamus Finnigan," she said, now a deep shade of red. Juanita and Rachel howled with laughter, "Oh like you're any better. I know you want Zach to ask you Juanita, and Ron to ask you Rachel," Both of her friends turned red too. "Yeah, like Ron will ever ask me out, he's probably not even at all interested in me" Rachel said rolling her eyes. Juanita and Sarah grinned at each other but didn't say anything. Rachel suddenly grinned. "Hey Juanita, Zach's coming over," And indeed he was. Zach came over, blushing profusely. His friends were on the other side of the common room, and watching intently. "Umm, Juanita, will you g-go to t-the b-b-ball w-w-ith me?" he stuttered out. Juanita's grin could have lit up half the world. " Of course I will!" Zach grinned, "Great" he said, before heading back over to his friends. "That's one down two to go," Sarah said. Juanita grinned, plans forming in her head. Ron and Seamus had no idea what they were in for now. A/N Yes I know, short chapter!! But I had to stop there. I just couldn't keep going. I'll try to have more up by tomorrow though. Sarah, Juanita, have you noticed the similarities between Rachel crushin on Ron, and me crushin on you-know-who? You should. Oh yeah, Disclaimer: I don't own anything you recognize. Now pwetty pwease review!! Dreamer the Mistwolf
